Read More I bought this pack a couple of years ago to use for long day hikes or the occasional backcountry overnighter and I love it. Just recently I put it through its paces on a 60 mile, 5 day AT section hike. When I left the TH it weighed 37 lbs and sat comfortably on my hips and shoulders. It held 5 days worth of food, clothes, a stove, coffee mug, camp sandals, water filter, headlamp, 70oz water bladder, toiletries, a water bottle, a book, my journal, first aid kit, a tent and my sleeping pad (those where on the outside). My sleeping bag didn't fit so I ended up just taking a sleep sack. We are planning on doing another section next year so I will probably upgrade to the Savant 58 so I can include my sleeping bag (I sleep cold so I wished I had brought it this year. Overall this is a great pack, rides comfortable and holds a ton of gear. -

Read More I bought this pack to replace the 30L packs I had been using for back country hiking. I like to carry a little extra gear. Stove, pot, emergency food/bag/clothes/first-aid etc. I found that all this was extremely tight in a 30L pack, to the point of stretching the zippers. This pack has just that extra space, and the top flap which allows for increased expansion. The 'front' pocket is large enough to contain a snow shovel and probe for winter use and the straps and attachment points are sufficient for snow shoes. I find the side pockets too restrictive and would prefer to be able to load a Nalgene a little easier when the pack is loaded. Honestly, I would prefer it if one of the pockets was replaced by the zip out bottle pocket found on the Gregory Baltoro which so easy to use on the move. With angled shoulders like mine, finding a pack to conform is not easy, but this pack fits beautifully as the straps are free to rotate at the shoulder point. The top pocket is useful but only shower proof. I had water in the pocket after a downpour. Not a problem as I was testing the pack for this. I would also like a whistle built into the chest strap for convenience. -

Read More I got this backpack for a few reasons: 1) It has a pull string system for the main compartment, so no zippers to worry about. 2) Great support on waist. I'm a small guy with a 30 inch waist, so I do synch the straps nearly all the way to get the snug fit. The support is very well placed on the hips and really keeps the stress off the shoulders (which is great). I use the backpack to travel, which can still entail many miles of walking, but I haven't taken it backpacking into the mountains and I haven't tried to load all of those necessary supplies in it. -

Read More Like a previous reviewer I also had the Gregory Z30 pack and was disappointed in the actual usable space. I exchanged it for this Savant 38 and haven't looked back. Unlike the Z30, I can load up tent poles inside the pack, carry a drinking bladder and have plenty of space available for sleeping bag, cook kit, and food for an over nighter. The top compartment is also water resistant so I don't have to pull out the built in rain flay every time it starts to sprinkle a bit to protect the wallets and phones I usually put up there for easy access. I do wish there was a side access compartment but the bag is small enough that it's not as big of an issue to just reach down from the top. -

Read More I've been a comfort camper with a mind for minimalism for some time. This pack helped push me over the edge to minimalist though. I loaded a 23 lb pack to take to Nordrum Lake and despite the cold/rain I was still comfortable once I got to camp (I'd do a better job of waterproofing my bag though - oops). This allowed me to bring everything I needed, lash pole on outside, ridgerest (replacing that) and it was quite a comfortable ride - adjustable - secure. I was worried it would be too small (bought the medium...am 6' @ 182 lbs) but it was perfect and helped me pack smarter. -

Read More I usually go on 2-4 day hiking trips and this pack is perfect for what I need. On a recent two day hike in Pecos, NM I packed about 40 lbs. of equipment in 38 liters of available space. This pack might be small but it's more than capable of carrying everything you need! No space in this pack goes to waste and even when it was loaded to the brim I had no problem closing the top. As far comfort goes, I give this pack an A+! The hike I took in Pecos was 12 miles and I have had any discomfort in my back or shoulders. On this same hike, it also rained almost the entire time which gave me the opportunity to try out the rain cover. While it wasn't spectacular, it was great having a rain cover at all! If you are taking this pack to extremely wet conditions I wouldn't count on this rain cover to keep your things 100% dry, but it is good enough for the NM Mountains. Lastly, my only critique is that the side mesh pockets are too small. I couldn't fit a pair of socks after the pack was all loaded up much less my Nalgene bottle. Nevertheless, this is the best pack I have ever used in my life and I would highly recommend it to any and everyone.

Read More Greg and I just finished hiking the Inca Trail in Peru. It was amazing!! (Greg is short for my Gregory backpack). I learned where to place all my essential items so that I could find them easily along the hike. Greg did not let me down!! P.S. A big shout out to Bud at the Santa Rosa REI store. He helped fit me to Greg. I have bought backpacks in the past and no one has ever fitted me for a pack. It made a huge difference! Greg and I are a great fit! I can't wait for our next big adventure!!
